Cloud Computing MSc - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Leicester

Student life is great and there are many educational events that are engaging.

Tips: Students should do deep research before coming to the University of Leicester. They should make sure that they are selecting the correct accommodation for their stay. The faculty are very accessible and helpful. However, I think the faculty should have group discussions every week with all the students to find out if anyone is having any problems. Otherwise, all the staff is very knowledgeable and helps students. I am very satisfied with my University and would recommend it to anyone considering studying here.

Likes (Post study jobs): I feel like the student life at this university is very happening. There are many opportunities for students to help other people. The student body is very diverse, and I have met students from all ethnicities. The volunteers are very helpful.

MSc Advanced Computer Science - Batch of 2022

Offered by University of Leicester

Amazing life with great academics.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the academic programs and modules, aware of basic programming and plagiarism awareness. Students should have a good friend circle that can help them with studies, part-time jobs, professional job hunts, activities, extracurricular activities, and food preparation.

Likes (Safety): I have lived near campus and so have my friends, and it is an incredibly safe area, especially in the LE2 postcode. However, it can vary depending on the area and your landlord. I highly recommend students find private accommodation or go with university accommodation, as agency accommodation is more expensive and students may have difficulty getting their deposit back due to a lack of understanding of household responsibilities.

Dislikes (Part time work): Before the Russia-Ukraine war, part-time jobs were plentiful. However, you can still get a part-time job within 40 days. There are opportunities in restaurants, stores, warehouses, and tutoring. These jobs can help you develop transferable skills, such as communication and explaining things to non-experts.

A way to get Masters certificate, nothing else.

Tips: 1. There's a cultural shift but it depends on the student. A student moved to a different country, so they should be accepting of the cultural shift and have a broader mindset. 2. I got the scholarship from Uni, but apparently everybody does. 3. With the University I am not so much satisfied but yes a way to get Masters in education. For the course, not so much from this University but if you learn it yourself and improve your skills, you can do wonders. The country is good as of now, a little expensive, and many are struggling with the cost of living, but still have a pleasant lifestyle.

Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some great Indian food restaurants and the prices are fine compared to the UK. You have lots of different cuisines to eat too. But groceries aren't that expensive compared to outside food and other countries so, as a student, it's recommended to cook most of the time.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty aren't that helpful to the students. They sometimes lack the skills and stumble if asked questions outside of the courses on the same subject matter. They also tend to think in a very narrow perspective about the assignments and are not open to a wider variety of options.

Master of Engineering Management with Industry - Batch of 2022

Offered by University of Leicester

4.7

University of Leicester is one of the top 30 Universities in UK.

Tips: The course structure at the University of Leicester is amazing, but having prior work experience is a plus for this particular course. I received a scholarship of 5000 Pounds, which helped offset the cost of tuition. The weather in the UK can be depressing, but the university itself is worth it.

Likes (Indian Food): Leicester has some of the best Indian food you can get in the UK for a very reasonable rate. But it won't be the exact same as you get back in India, so, I mostly cooked my own meals when I didn't have classes. During classes, I used to get takeouts.

Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities were less but the support was good. There are job fairs arranged at the University and it is a good opportunity to connect with people, but other than that I didn't find any internship opportunities as such. The college provides support for resume checking, interview preparation and even essay writing.

Average college with strict rules.

Tips: The transition was super easy. It's mostly cloudy or night every day depending on the season. Consider this university only if you are serious about studying. All the assignments are on a level of a mini-project so it would not be easy. There are no part-time jobs at the university, so you'll have to find one in Leicester or elsewhere as it mostly depends on the season. If you start in January, it will be difficult to find a part-time job for at least five or six months. Even if you do find a job, it will likely be a short-term contract position that might not be renewed. The average salary for these positions is the minimum wage of 11.44 per hour.

Likes (Indian Food): You will get everything that you find in India for sure. We have Indian grocery stores over here but it is better to get from India in case it could be expensive if you don't have a part-time job, so get as much stuff as possible.
